Nature has always been communicating—we simply needed to learn how to listen. Wild Data emerges from this understanding, exploring how we can tune into the electrical signals that soil bacteria produce as they respond to their changing environment.
Teodoro's Hyper Wood project represents a fascinating convergence of biomimicry and circular economy principles, creating a biomaterial that honours timber's essential qualities without requiring a single tree.
In the hidden networks of soil ecosystems, mushrooms communicate through root-like structures called mycelium, exchanging not only chemical signals and information but also nutrients. In this journal entry, we celebrate how designer Peerasin Punxh has translated this natural system of communication into GROWinK—a CMYK inkjet technology that uses fungal pigments to create a fully bio-based printing solution.
Andrea Carrera, a biodesigner with a background in product design, created Micromentum—a project that reflects our belief in the transformative power of collaboration between human creativity and the living systems that surround us. This synergy perfectly captures our approach of working with nature rather than against it.
We've always been drawn to the stories behind materials – the ones that challenge what we think we know about waste, beauty, and possibility. So when we discovered Precious Peels, a project transforming humble eggplant peelings into translucent, light-catching surfaces, we knew we had to share it.
